The Indian does not want much. bis
grandfathers once owned this country, and
all he wants is the Unitsd States. He feels
that he has been imposed upon by real estate
agents too much.
One Of the peculiarities OF the Indian race
is their method of dealing with their neigh
bors. Instead Of throwing tin cans and dead
cats over into their yards. they go and wipe
them out, and that seems to end all further
controversy-on the part of the ~neighbors, at
least.
Owing to the scarcely Of the buffalo 1t Is no
moro than natural that the Indian should

A Discussion About Chickens Thai Lay

Eggs All the Year Round.
Two honest farmers met on the pier and
greeted each other warmly. One of them
carried a carpetbag and the other an oilcloth
gripSack. One was surprised TO learn that
tho other had just returned from a two years
stay in Florida. The other was interested to
hear that his old acquaintance was at that
moment going aboard tho steamer which was

"Yas, I've made up my mind there's money

other. "But | amt goin' into oranges; that's
too slow work for me-. I'm goin' into eggs.
Now, I've hearn tell that hens lays the year

"Sartin fact" broke in the man just from
the south. "Them Flurdy hens they do lay
eggs the year round, 'ceptin when they're
sheddin' their feathers"
"Well, so I've hearn tell, and they say that

sometimes four shillin' a dozen. Now, spoeen

said the departing farmer, and he scrambled
up the steep incline. Then he turned around,
rested his carpetbag on the rail and began;
"Ten or 'leven dollars a hen on"
"But you can't quite reckon on them fig

Flurdy hens do lay all the year, 'ceptin when
they're sheddin' their feathers; but down in

lated trunk on his back.
BY the time the man from Florida recov.
cred himself after getting out OF tho p%orter's
way, the steamer had moved ahead and the
men were Stacking Off the lines. He ran to
the next opening and resumed:
"As | was sayin', down In that warm

A big hawser which was still fastened to
the moving steamer tripped hin up. But he
got to his feet and hurried out to the pier

steamer, bending over the rail.

Miss Van Tassel's Last Appearances.
Miss Cora Van Tassel has worked hard
this week, and has had efficient support.
She has had a change Of bill at each per-
Torrance, and every performance has
becn satisfactory. That of "M'liss' was
specially pleasing, and in the court scene
every character was well portrayed. The
ledge, who went according to the "sta-
toots" was capital.
To-day at the matinee, "Fanchon, the
Cricket" will be the attraction, and to-
night the engagement ends with the
great play depictiye OF Mormon life,
THE Danites."
1t is hoped that there will be good
houses at each performance to-day, and
that Miss Van Tassel's goodbye will be
a hearty one.

and was received with applause and mer-
riment throughout. MIXED Pickles"

that "the standard prices, 25, 90, and rs
cents and 81, will be the charges during

usual rates at the Norfolk Academy, al
though at times cheaper prices are charged
and advertised. The Opera House

A Soup-erior Story.

\ few days since a gentleman wished
some wood sawed and some other little
jobs performed, and thought he would
give the work to some one really in need.
He thought if he would find them any
where it would be in the vicinity of the
soup-house and the headquarters of the
outdoor poor. Here, as he had expected,
he found a lot of shivering parties wait
ing for charity. When offered work,
they said they could not do it that day,
as they had to draw rations. He waited
awhile and found some who had drawn
r%ations; and then they either had to go
home to eat the rations or did not need
any work while the supplies lasted. This
is the way with many. They won't work
as long as they can beg, and it is a know
ledge of this fact that keeps many per-
sons, charitably inclined, from helping
public institutions. They prefer to be-
stow their charity on known worthy OBJ
iectS.

ONE OF OUR BEST INSTITUTIONS.

Stitute.

StItutc.
The night schools of the Mechanics

w~ell-known practical citizens Messrs.
w. j. Whitehurst, w. G. Ammons, Robert
Whittet, Alexander Dulaney and Thomas

The Mechanics Institute is doing good
work in trying to turn out a class of edu-
Gated mechanics. Its influence for good
is very great, and its power will be felt.
1t is an institution hat needs every en-
enlargement, and it is hoped that it will
be literally sustained. The school is un-
der the patronage of the Virginia Me-
chanics' Institute. The officers are
George A. Ainslie, president; Ashton
Starke, vice president; William +. ST.
